degrees, but none to any Of Princeton's
professors. DR.. Holmes read poem in
which he humorously referred to the fact
that Harvard liberalism in religious mat
tiers had affected the other colleges, these
lines being included:
Ger princeton's sands the far reflections steal
Where mighty Edwards stamped his iron heel;
Nay, on the hill where Old beliefs were bound
Fast as if StyX had girthen nine times round,
Bursts such a light that trembling souls inquire
If the whole church of Calvin is on fire.
DIR. Holmes afterward explained that
the last four liueS referred to Andover
(which does not help the matter much,
but the punctuation was not clear to DR.,
McCosh, who was among the invited
guests, and the assumption that Harvard
was Il teacher Of old Princeton certainly
was offensive; so Princeton's president
left for home at once. making no secret of
his resentment, nor has he yet accorded
complete forgiveness.
DIR. McCOsh's administration has been
remarkably successful From 2G4 in 1858
the total of students has risen to COB; and
the last years entries were l19. The
standard of scholarship has been raised,
aud the appreciation of old graduates has
been shown in many liberal contributions,
which have more than doubled the col
lege's convcniences.

When DR.. James McCosh took the pres

nounccd his ambition to make it II univer
sity, the event was considered one of IA
tional Importance. Now that he has
handed in his resignation-to take effect
next February-there is general regret
among American educators. Although
the venerable philosopher has passed his
three score and ten, bis intellect is as Wig
orous as ever, and the very letter in which
lie declares that he will quit before weak
ness compels him to- is II pleasing proof
that there is rs yet no weakness apparent.
lie retains his place as teacher of the
higher philosophy, and his profound works
on philosophical subjects grow in interest
with time. The succession of his works
illustrates his mental development, and
both will be better understood by consid-
ering his life record

in Ayrshire, Scotland, and, rs his name
indicates, there ia in him considerable

How 70 Lie when Asleep.


1t would seem on the FIRST blush Of the matter
that the posture for-that Is, to favor-sleep must
be generally the same as that voluntarily or In
stinctfvely assumed during sleep: but little con-
sderation will make 1t apparent that this Is not
correct. 1t may be granted that supposing a per-
son TO be sleeping lightly and uncomfortably, the
posture Will be changed half-consciously to OF
comfort IL would be more correct to say that It
Il changed In the endeavOr TO avoid distress dis
comfort but even the fact that sleep Is Quieter In
the new position will not sufce TO prove that this
IL a better one, because the sleep may meanwhile
bic TO ascertain, either by experience or observa-
ton, which Is the posture mostconducive to sleep,
and attempts TO lay down rules for the guidance OF
bad sleepeTS are always arbitrary, generally en-
plrical, and rarely OF any practical value.
Those who think "anRmia OF the cerebrum" Is
the cause of sleep. and those who think that,
though not the cause, diminution In the quantity
sary concomitant OF sleep, prefer and recommend
that the head should be higher than the feet;
While those who adopt the opposite view and think
passive congestion causes or promotes somnOlence,
would have the feet raised and the head lowered.
The confounding OF stupor with sleep may and
probably has something 10 do with these differ
ences OF opinion. Meanwhile, acOmmon-sense view
OF the subject would conclude that as there evil
IDENTIFY some change IN the blood state when the
brain falls asleep, the best plan must TO be TO
place the body In such position that the i0w of
blood through the veSse:s OF the head and neck
may be especially easy and free The way TO secure
this is 70 allow the head TO lie In posture and on
return OF blood through the veins OF the neck and
does not tend 70 make the blood flow specially In
any particular direction, but leaves nature at lib
erty TO act As she will.

Quaker Marriages.

permission, and final marriage itself, being re-
garded wholly as matter Of religious progression
to the very grave and sacred contamination OF

ably be soemnfzed at "meeting," and must par

ceding the marriage appoints two friends Of each

procession enters the "meetingr forming in lines
through which pass tina bride and groom to the "a

But all the throng OF silent Quakers IL stand.

Women and Panics.


The disaster to the steamer SchOlten in the Eng
lish channel is said to have been made more dread
ful by the wild shrieks OF the women. No doubt
tie report Is accurate. The shrieks OF women are
perhaps, to be expected on occasions Of peril and
disaster where they are present In considerable
numbers. And yet the Listener has an impression
gained upon three or four occasions OF public dis
aster, where he has been present, that rather the
most strenuous demonstrations Of terror at such
times are made by men; and he has had this i'm
preston confirmed by the observations Of gentle
